Greeley West leaves the 4A battlefield with the State Championship plaque, fending off a flurry of teams within reach, including Cheyenne Mountain (209 points) and Castle View (297).
  • Heavy favorite Allie Parks of Greeley Central outkicks Becky Schmitt of Thompson Valley to claim the individual title. Parks and Schmitt's strides were in synch for the second and third mile, until Parks pulled ahead at the three-mile mark, finishing with an 18:17.44. Schmitt finished two seconds behind at 18:19.09. In another tight team race, Alamosa ran away from Thompson Valley with the title, finishing 37 points ahead of the Eagles.

2A Highlights
  • Heavy favorite Nederland easily handles the 2A field, placing all three scoring runners in the top ten.

Erin Kelly of Crested Butte Community claimed the individual honors with an 18:41.45, beating Nederland harrier Kelley Robinson by 50 seconds.
